We had 8" of water to set the new liner in place. Water hauler delivered clean, treated city water (I could smell the chlorine).

It's less than 3 hours later and the pool is turning GREEN. Cannot get skimmer on and filter on until DH returns home later this evening.

I have heard of the "dreaded green pool" but didn't know it would happen within the first day!

Please advise! This pool has been nothing but a PITA since we started installing it in May. I am beginning to think we aren't meant to have one and we are becoming the big jokes "How's your POOL coming?"

Wanted to add that it is RAINING today. Not heavy but it was drizzlling when they delivered the water. Could that be the problem?

Will getting the filter up and running and chemicals in solve the problems? I am not supposed to add chem until I take it to the pool place for the first chemical analysis - which I cannot possibly do until tomorrow a.m.
